Chapter 5: Amazing, He Actually Learned To Read
“Click clack click clack.”
Outside of the library pavilion were heavy footsteps; then the dragon engraved doors were pushed open.
A gray haired housekeeper came in from the outside; despite his old age, each of his steps were steady and did not leave a trace of dust on the ground. The gap in between his eyebrows was narrow, exuding a cold aura similar to the light of an unsheathing sword. His deep eyes were brighter and sharper as compared to a younger man.
As he saw Feng Feiyun, he cracked a big smile that showed all of the wrinkles on his forehead. He excitedly grabbed Feng Feiyun’s hand and clamored:
“Young master! Young master! All of the little girls said that you could read; is this true? This is the truth?”
He repeatedly asked with eyes filled with expectations.
The old man carried a worried expression with a wavering heart. He hoped that Feng Feiyun had grown up, but he was also afraid to hear the answer he didn’t want to hear, which would ruin his excitement.
“Grandpa Liu, your age is very high now, and you need a lot of rest. The servants and maids... *sigh*... to bother you with such an insignificant matter. They truly are too insensible.”
Feng Feiyun carefully held Grandpa Liu’s hands.
Housekeeper Liu was the housekeeper from Feng Feiyun’s mother’s side. He was part of the dowry for their marriage. After the death of Feng Feiyun’s mother, Housekeeper Liu was like a grandfather to him; he took care of Feng Feiyun’s every need.
Feng Feiyun’s mother died when he was only one year old; she died of an unknown illness. He actually wasn’t even positive that she had died of an illness because the affair was told to him by his dad, Feng Wanpeng.
At that time, Feng Feiyun was too young to remember. His impression of his mother was very vague; he only knew that she was very pretty and gentle, and there was no other girl in the world who was as gentle as she was.
